For those of you who've been following the big build up on the Blizzard websites over the past week, featuring something mysterious breaking through the ice... they announced early this morning (Or this afternoone, for you folks in other parts of the world) what their brand new game is.

For a game thats got technology thats lightyears ahead of its predecessors it sure doesnt look much different graphically. However keeping the same theme might help the game out, especially with the old fans.

Yeah, that's always been Blizzard's philosophy; don't push the bleeding edge, let everyone have a chance to play. Take World of Warcraft, for instance; if you look at early alpha screenshots, they're near top-of-the-line graphics, for that day, anyway. They intentionally scaled them back, to allow more people to play. Hell, it runs on Macs, that's saying something. =P

Besides, what more does Diablo need? They perfected the formula in the first game, now they're just polishing it and adding more shinies that weren't possible the first two times around. Hell, I'd play it if it were still using D1 graphics. =P

I like Diablo but I wish they had a gender choice for some of the classes such as the Sorceress why not a Sorceror for the guys. And for the girls a female Necromancer. So that would be a nice change. But why mess with what works its easy to play, hard to master and I'm looking forward to the new classes they come up with.

00 Click10 Goto 00In all seriousness, I loved the first Diablo. Diablo 2... I loved starting it, but I grew to hate it. That being said, Blizzard are good at making games, and they make good games. Diablo 3 will be good, even if it isn't my thing, and it might very well end up being my thing.

My ex was getting very annoyed: the cracked ice had a winking smiley face added at some point, so she thought Blizzard was mocking her. Also, someone posted a link to what the mystery game was. A youtube video. I think we all know what it is.

To all those who were hoping it would be World of Starcraft:You have my sympathies. I was also hoping to see naked female Protoss dancing through the cities.

My PC probably won't be able to run it, but still, looking forward to seeing D3 in action.

Yes, yes. I had such a massive loregasm earlier this afternoon listening to Deckard Cain read from his journal. -Wipes a tear from his eye.- So much of my younger years wasted on that game, and now they give it another installment. Pure joy, I tell ya.

For one thing, I would never even start playing WoSC. I've had it with MMO's by now. D3, I dunno. The more lighthearted setting and play whenever you want is interesting... But if it's like D1 and D2, than it does become repetitive kinda fast. Making it really depend on who you play with...

If I get it and play it, my choice will be largely similar to the choice I made with D1 and D2: I need to stare at an arse all day. Better make it a nice one (Rogue in 1, Sorceress in 2, even though every goddamn enemy in the entire second half of the fucking game is immune to magic and every boss makes you want to nail the Blizzard designers to the floor, slice open their stomach, urinate into the internal organs and wait for septic shock to kill them, yes I'm fucking bitter).

So I guess I'll need to wait and see what characters are released for it.

...

I adore you.

Now if only I could find a suitable game to run that would provide suitable incentive to play and partake of Epic Bitterness.

I'm a little confused. How were people stuck looking at the asses of the Diablo characters?

I can't see it. The view I have (As I've reinstalled my copy of D2 and LoD) is usually isometric and I'm usually looking at the barbarian's front. (I'll get to the Sorceress and the Paladin, in that order, later.)

Figure of speech. It's still there on the middle of your screen like always. Go go Amazon - Valkyrie - Rogue team
